UAV-based topographic surveying at Punta di Zambrone (Italy)
Submitted by Surveying Jobber on November 1, 2014 at 7:50pm
Marco BLOCK-BERLITZ / Reinhard JUNG / Marco PACCIARELLI (University of Applied Sciences Dresden, Germany / Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Austria / University degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Italy)
Abstract: This video showcases the use of UAVs for recording the prehistoric (Bronze Age) site at Punta di Zambrone, Italy (http://www.puntazambrone.com/it/). A coastal site with some striking topography, Punta di Zambrona provides a challenge for ultra-light aerial vehicles, due to strong thermal winds. Another problem was the positioning of georeferencing markers with sufficient visual exposure in the rugged terrain. Nevertheless, the robust UAV technology proved its worth and produced some spectacular video footage from which we were able to reconstruct detailed and stunning 3D models of the site and its surroundings.

Surveying with Small UAVs A Paradigm Shift Webinar Recording
Submitted by Surveying Jobber on November 1, 2014 at 7:21pm
Surveying with Small UAVs A Paradigm Shift
Driven by the rapid evolution of close-range photogrammetry in recent years, small UAVs equipped with regular cameras are rapidly adopted by surveyors worldwide as a key field-to-plan tool for 1:250 scale surveying projects. However, while using small UAVs for surveying is approved in most of the countries in the world, it is still in a legal limbo in the US.
This webinar will review the principles of using small UAVs for surveying with regular cameras, introduce multiple real-life case studies of surveying works using small UAVs, and provide practical hands-on best practices for using small UAVs in the field. The webinar will review the legal status of using UAVs in the US, and especially the two recent court cases involving the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and users of UAVs, where the FAA’s policy memorandum on UAVs, particularly in regard to their being used for commercial purposes, was found to be not legally binding.

World's first manned flight with an electric multicopter
Submitted by ePalmetto on August 30, 2013 at 8:24pm
Will the land surveyors of the future use these in survey work? Perhaps! On October 21st, 2011, Thomas Senkel of e-volo made the first manned flight with an electric multicopter (VTOL), the so called volocopter VC1, at an airstrip in the southwest of Germany. The flight lasted 90 seconds, after which the constructor and test pilot stated: "The flight characteristics are good natured. Without any steering input it would just hover there on the spot". This could be the future of aviation, piloting a device as easy as a car.

A few pointers to take the mystery out of operating the Trimble/GPS
Hello junior archaeologists and people who are curious about the lives and times of cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologists.
Basically, I am here to make videos of interest to people who have questions about what the actual job of archaeology is like.
If you have questions about what it is like to be a pampered, academic archaeologist locked away in an ivory tower of arcane knowledge, look elsewhere.
If you would like to know what sock pattern Roman centurions wore many years ago, you should definitely go elsewhere.
If you want to know more about dinosaurs, you should do a Google search on what an archaeologist is, because you are most certainly confused and looking for a different kind of smart person (whose name is unfamiliar to archaeologists everywhere).
Subscribe for content that is updated regularly...ish, depending on where I am and what sort of archaeological endeavor I am up to.

Summary: What is EAGLES (Ecosystem Assessment, Geospatial Analysis & Landscape Evaluation System)? EAGLES is a PC-based series of linked software applications (decision support tools or DSTs) in user-friendly ArcGIS and web-enabled environments that allows biologists and managers direct control and access to powerful data processing and modeling capabilities. There are six basic DSTs within EAGLES. Together they form a workflow architecture to allow practitioners: (1) direct access to, and understanding of, climate and biophysical data products for ecosystem vulnerability assessments, (2) creation of conceptual, visual, and statistical models of species populations responding to environmental change, (3) to explore What-if-Scenarios about how species and their habitats respond to habitat alterations and future climate conditions. EAGLES also provides the basis for common data, standardized data protocols, and transparent analysis techniques applicable across all LCC units. One fundamental component of EAGLES is access to a large suite of NASA-produced remote sensing products to use as covariates for modeling purposes.

In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly. The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles.
Triangulation can also refer to the accurate surveying of systems of very large triangles, called triangulation networks. This followed from the work of Willebrord Snell in 1615--17, who showed how a point could be located from the angles subtended from three known points, but measured at the new unknown point rather than the previously fixed points, a problem called resectioning. Surveying error is minimized if a mesh of triangles at the largest appropriate scale is established first. Points inside the triangles can all then be accurately located with reference to it. Such triangulation methods were used for accurate large-scale land surveying until the rise of global navigation satellite systems in the 1980s.
Applications
Optical 3d measuring systems use this principle as well in order to determine the spatial dimensions and the geometry of an item. Basically, the configuration consists of two sensors observing the item. One of the sensors is typically a digital camera device, and the other one can also be a camera or a light projector. The projection centers of the sensors and the considered point on the object's surface define a (spatial) triangle. Within this triangle, the distance between the sensors is the base b and must be known. By determining the angles between the projection rays of the sensors and the basis, the intersection point, and thus the 3d coordinate, is calculated from the triangular relations.As these are very important for large areas of surveying.
Distance to a point by measuring two fixed angles
The coordinates and distance to a point can be found by calculating the length of one side of a triangle, given measurements of angles and sides of the triangle formed by that point and two other known reference points.
The following formulae apply in flat or Euclidean geometry. They become inaccurate if distances become appreciable compared to the curvature of the Earth, but can be replaced with more complicated results derived using spherical trigonometry.
Calculation
Therefore
Using the trigonometric identities tan α = sin α / cos α and sin(α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β, this is equivalent to:
From this, it is easy to determine the distance of the unknown point from either observation point, its north/south and east/west offsets from the observation point, and finally its full coordinates.
History
Triangulation today is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision, model rocketry and gun direction of weapons.
The use of triangles to estimate distances goes back to antiquity. In the 6th century BC the Greek philosopher Thales is recorded as using similar triangles to estimate the height of the pyramids by measuring the length of their shadows and that of his own at the same moment, and comparing the ratios to his height (intercept theorem); and to have estimated the distances to ships at sea as seen from a clifftop, by measuring the horizontal distance traversed by the line-of-sight for a known fall, and scaling up to the height of the whole cliff. Such techniques would have been familiar to the ancient Egyptians. Problem 57 of the Rhind papyrus, a thousand years earlier, defines the seqt or seked as the ratio of the run to the rise of a slope, i.e. the reciprocal of gradients as measured today. The slopes and angles were measured using a sighting rod that the Greeks called a dioptra, the forerunner of the Arabic alidade. A detailed contemporary collection of constructions for the determination of lengths from a distance using this instrument is known, the Dioptra of Hero of Alexandria

This reinstallation of works from LACMA's American art collection emphasizes 19th century American landscape painting, and a selection of photographs from the same period. The East Coast works, hung salon-style, dramatically outnumber the museum's canvases portraying the West. Conversely, representations of the West abound in the museum's holdings of early photography. The installation is designed to emphasize this contrast.

The TDR360 is a target used as a landmark for land surveying. It is used with a total station equipped with a sighting that does not require a prism (Direct Reflex). It can be operated from a distance as far as a thousand meters (+1000 meters or +3280feets) and offers a 360 degree visibility. This target has numerous qualities such as durability, great visibility, reusability and extreme precision. Its operating procedure is quite easy: after the conventional set-up of the instrument, you simply install the target and aim at it in order to enter its coordinates. You will not have to change positions like you used to in order to set up different landmarks, such as metal rods, nails, survey monuments, etc., which are usually situated very far from the total station. Therefore, the TDR360 makes the operation of the instrument exceptionally fast and precise since the target is stationary. Furthermore, your triangulation network will be more reliable and accurate since the handling procedures in creating your network will be abated.

Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software provides an easy-to-use graphical interface that enables surveyors, grade checkers, site engineers, and foremen to do their jobs faster and more efficiently. Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software helps efficiently control and quantify site operations without relying on a contract surveyor for site measurement and stakeout. It is easy to learn and can be used with Trimble GNSS or total station equipment. The software organizes job site information the same way contractors already work, and an intuitive interface makes SCS900 easy to learn and use for tasks such as grade checking, staking or measuring as-builts. It increases productivity from day one. Advanced communications help contractors realize significant savings by eliminating the time and cost of driving data files to and from the field. Engineers can send design changes and work orders to field crews, who can transfer progress reports, on-site problems, and as-built data back to the office at the touch of a button. This connectivity reduces delays and increases the likelihood that projects finish on time and under budget. Optional Roading and Advanced Measurement Modules include many additional time-saving features that are unique to those specific tasks. Roading Module The Trimble SCS900 Roading Module supports road and highway projects by incorporating full alignment geometry, station equations, width transitions and multiple roadways within a selected road job. The Roading Module provides a single solution to all road staking needs - from roadway features to catch points to custom subgrades. In addition, the grade checking functions allow contractors to easily perform as-built checks and quality control. Advanced Measurement Module The Trimble SCS900 Advanced Measurement Module improves informed decision-making by capturing additional information with each measured point; for example, photos, dimensions, conditions and material type add more valuable information about a feature than just its position. This information can be remotely sent back to the office and analyzed in Business Center.

If you want to know strata area, you can still use the "polyline" command. If wall thickness is unique, you can just pick up outer of building corners to create a ployline then offset inward by half of width of wall. If the wall thinness is not unique, in other word, varies with different segment, then you have to create some auxiliary lines to link all pair of corners in order to find out center of wall. And after creating the polyline, you need to delete all auxiliary lines. Is it possible to create polyline without creating auxiliary lines in advance, instead, can we just pick up wall corners then create the polyline straightforward? The answer is Yes. Just pick up points, then create polyline, no auxiliary lines, no deleting. That is it.

Start to modify a strata boundary line i.e. a polyline. Users can use the function to insert, delete and move vertex, to change a line to arc or vise verse, to close the polyline. The amazing is the area annotation will be updated corresponding.

Google Maps version 2.0 is now available for the iPhone and your iPad as well. You can download the updated Maps app from the iTunes Store.
One of the most useful feature of the new Google Maps app is that you can download any area of the map for offline use. The offline mode has been available on Google Maps for Android for some time and now iOS users too will be able to navigate the maps without using data or in areas that have no cellular connectivity. Learn how to download Google Maps for offline use on your iPhone or iPad. http://labnol.org/?p=28122 How do you download an area on Google Maps? That’s a little tricky.
Search for a place in Google Maps and zoom in such that all the area that you wish to cache locally is visible on the screen. Now tap the search box and type “ok maps” without the quotes. Tap the Search button on the keyboard and all the visible area will download to your iOS device almost instantly.
You cannot cache a large area of the map in one go but you can obviously divide that area into multiple parts, virtually, and download them one after other.

Long shot of surveyors taking measurements and a bulldozer pushing sand. A bulldozer is used, to push sand from a discharge pipe into place during a federally funded shore protection project by Great Lakes Dredge and Dock on May 17, 2013 in Fort Pierce, Florida. As cities along the East Coast prepare for the start of the hurricane season, officials say the area encompassing Fort Pierce beach has been in dire need of repair since Hurricane Sandy last year made worse an area already suffering significantly from erosion. Some experts say shore restoration projects can help reduce the physical and economic damage from waves, storm surge, and the resulting coastal flooding in a hurricane.

Surveying the Land -BLM
This 13 part series, known as Fractured Land Patterns, is the history of BLM. It was created in the mid 1980's as an interpretation of BLMs colorful history. The historical perspective presented centers around the uses, federal laws, and landmark events on Americas public lands which contributed to the fractured land ownership patterns that remain today.
The series is divided into 2 broad sections the first is called The Public Disposal Era and consists of videos 1 - 6. The second is called Conservation and Beyond and covers videos 7 -13.
The thirteen chapters in this chronology trace the settlement of the West from colonial times through the passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), which provides BLM with its multiple use mission.
Set against the backdrop of dynamic economic, social, and environmental change, and with shifting national priorities, this series explains how the missions of the General Land Office and the U.S. Grazing Service were merged with a stroke of the pen by President Harry S. Truman in 1946 to create the Bureau of Land Management
Disclaimer: The opinions and statements of non-BLM personnel are included to illustrate alternative points of view at the time and do not necessarily represent the official position of the BLM.

A new challenge arose from the clouds of the youtube community: Can you shoot a machete with a slingshot?
Now a machete is a very heavy weapon, and strong rubber plus a very long draw was called for. This had to be a slingshot crossbow because the rubber had to be so strong that you can not draw it out with one hand. Also the danger of hitting your hand had to be considered.
The result is actually pretty impressive: The weapon sent the machete all the way up to the hilt into six layers of very thick cardboard. Try to do that by throwing a machete! No way.
The video also shows two very conventional slingshots, both handmade by Jörg Sprave.

Released as part of Google Earth 5.0, Historical Imagery is an amazing feature. As I mentioned a few days ago with the Britain from Above story, Historical Imagery is certainly one of the best new features added to Google Earth in the past few years. One interesting aspect of historical imagery is that it's not always old -- sometimes the "historical" imagery for a particular location might be newer than the base imagery. The key is that the imagery for the base layer of Google Earth is always what they consider to be the best imagery for that location. Freshness certainly plays into that, but so does lighting, cloud cover, etc. Quite often, Google will capture new imagery for a location but decide it isn't good enough for the base layer and will put it in the Historical Imagery layer instead. The new Google Earth 5 has a great new feature letting you turn back the clock on aerial/satellite imagery. Here's an example looking at the building of the Beijing National Stadium (also known as the "Bird's Nest") built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

This is a not to be missed short movie for any land surveyor! 'Surveyor' tells the story of a government agent surveyor on his way home to collect payment after having surveyed land on the western frontier. His trip home becomes a nightmarish journey through an American Gothic landscape. This is a true depiction of how the American West was lost.
As a 25 minute film, Surveyor might sound like it was conceived as a festival short, but its first submission was actually for Ridley Scott’s YouTube short film contest. After making the first cut, the film got disqualified for including a quote by Cormac McCarthy without permission. The film was turned to festivals for a few projections, but slipped through most major festival selections. That’s when director Scott Blake decided to bring his film back to the online afterlife. And since then, with just a little exposure, Surveyor has become one of the internet’s hidden gems. The self proclaimed Anti-Western film created by Scott Blake, a first time director with no film experience who spent two years University years working on Surveyor, was his way of showing the lack of true american historical facts in almost all Hollywood western films. https://twitter.com/AmlethPictures

Downtown Seattle is one earthquake away from a transportation catastrophe. The city's last big quake in 2001 seriously weakened an elevated highway called the Alaskan Way Viaduct, and engineers say another good shake could bring the double-decker structure down. Although the city has been living with the threat for 10 years, residents and politicians still can't agree what to do about it.
This visualization shows the collapse of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, part of Washingtons State Route 99, and adjacent seawall due to a seismic event. The simulated earthquake is similar to the 2001 Nisqually earthquake but lasts longer, is closer to Seattle, or has a slightly greater magnitude.

This film was to be D.W. Griffith's big comeback production, and it did very well for "the old master." In fact, it was chosen as number two of the Ten Best Pictures of 1930 by The Film Daily, just below "All Quiet On The Western Front!" Sadly, due to the horrible condition of the available prints of this film, no really fair analysis can be made today. As with so many early talkies, Abraham Lincoln is now a sickly shadow of what it was in 1930. To begin with, it's original running time is listed at approximately 96 minutes. The version presented on Laserdisc runs 83 minutes.The film shows signs of wear and duping. The soundtrack is horribly distorted and, in several scenes, seems to be missing totally, replaced by terrible music from a stock library. Even so, if one can look past these things and take the acting style in the context of its time, one can see that Griffith had not lost his flair and would have probably continued directing had the fates (and probably Hollywood) not conspired against him. There are wonderful cinematic moments, reminiscent of some of his earlier triumphs. This is a film that cries out for restoration but, alas, there is most likely little or nothing left to restore. UPDATE: In 2008, KINO International released a DVD version of Abraham Lincoln that is far more complete than the old Laserdisc I reviewed from in 1998. While some soundtrack from the Prologue is still missing, KINO has made up for it by adding subtitles for the missing dialogue. Also, the picture quality is far superior to anything else available. It is evident that much effort went into making this forgotten film much more watchable and available!
Directed by D.W. Griffith. With Walter Huston, Una Merkel, William L. Thorne, Lucille La Verne.

As with so many early talkies, Abraham Lincoln is now a sickly shadow of what it was in 1930. To begin with, it's original running time is listed at approximately 96 minutes. The version presented on Laserdisc runs 83 minutes.The film shows signs of wear and duping. The soundtrack is horribly distorted and, in several scenes, seems to be missing totally, replaced by terrible music from a stock library. Even so, if one can look past these things and take the acting style in the context of its time, one can see that Griffith had not lost his flair and would have probably continued directing had the fates (and probably Hollywood) not conspired against him. There are wonderful cinematic moments, reminiscent of some of his earlier triumphs. This is a film that cries out for restoration but, alas, there is most likely little or nothing left to restore. UPDATE: In 2008, KINO International released a DVD version of Abraham Lincoln that is far more complete than the old Laserdisc I reviewed from in 1998. While some soundtrack from the Prologue is still missing, KINO has made up for it by adding subtitles for the missing dialogue. Also, the picture quality is far superior to anything else available. It is evident that much effort went into making this forgotten film much more watchable and available! Directed by D.W. Griffith. With Walter Huston, Una Merkel, William L. Thorne, Lucille La Verne.

Mapping using Parrot AR Drone 2.0 and AutoDESK 123D
Submitted by LSU Justin on March 5, 2013 at 10:40pm
A Parrot AR Drone 2.0 was used to map a stockpile area on a civil engineering project. The video feed from the drone was captured at 0.5s intervals using FFMPEG and modeled using AutoDESK 123D Catch to create a 3D textured surface model.
Autonomous vehicles are not limited to aerial platforms; there are a host of AUVs (Autonomous Undersea Vehicles) that are not constrained by FAA policy. Most importantly, the next few years will see tremendous innovation in terms of UAV technology. There will be an explosion in applications, platforms and sensors. We'll cover these advances and updates on FAA policy as well.
To give you an idea of how many UAVs are already on the civilian market, check out the new market survey by Aerial Services. It lists more than 150 different models of UAS and dozens of UAS-sized sensors and photogrammetric software. The report is in a matrix-format listing manufacturer and type and includes a handy link for more information. Download thePDF market survey here(sign-up is required but the report is free).

Leica Nova MS50 MultiStation delivers first exact 3D scan of the Mont Blanc ice cap http://www.leica-geosystems.com/en/Le... Reaching the top of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak, is a formidable challenge even to the most experienced alpinists - not only because of its elevation, but also because of its weather conditions. Strong winds and snowfall at the summit constantly cause altitude changes to the summit's ice and snow cap. Such changes motivate expert surveyors to try out the latest in measurement technology, like the Chartered Land Surveyors located in the Upper Savoy region in France as well as two surveyors from Leica Geosystems France. For their seventh expedition, they decided to make the first ever 3D laser scan of the shape and volume of this legendary glacier using the Leica Nova MS50 MultiStation.

Surveying - Finding Bearings and Azimuths for traverse
Submitted by LSU Justin on November 18, 2013 at 12:41pm
Calculating bearings and azimuths for a traverse when given the interior angles and one of the bearings. I just used the counterclockwise method to calculate the azimuths of each side of the traverse then converted the azimuths to bearings. I hope this is helpful!
I did this video for extra credit for my surveying class. This is the first video I've ever done like this, so I apologize for any mistakes I made! hopefully I corrected them all by the end.
The math is all correct though, so if you ended up on this video hoping to learn how to do this, everything is right by the end, I just misspoke a few times.
If you go full screen, it is much easier to read the numbers!
If you view and have any questions, just comment and I will do my best to answer them

This is a playlist of 15 educational Laser Scanning/High-Definition Surveying (HDS) from Leica Geosystems. Leica Geosystems announced that their new educational movies about laser scanning are now available on YouTube within the Leica Geosystems YouTube channel.
These recently posted YouTube movies were produced in HD and have attracted over 7,000 views. They provide an easy-to-understand introduction to 3D laser scanning (also known as High-Definition Surveying or HDS) for the rapidly growing number of people researching it for the first time.
Chapter 1 – “The Basics” is an overview with film footage of scanning in the field and processing "point clouds" in the office into drawings, models, etc. It also describes common mapping and as-built survey applications, benefits, types of deliverables and options that users have for taking advantage of the technology.
Chapter 2 - “How It All Works” describes how laser scanners work (including new animations), what scanner features are important to consider, the topic of “registration” or stitching multiple scans together, and what type of support is available for implementing the technology.
Chapter 3 – “Simple Projects and Complex Projects” acquaints newcomers with using the technology for simple surveys and deliverables, and describes laser scanner and software features that help users tackle more complex sites and advanced deliverables.

A look at the challenge of dealing with horizontal datums in your GIS. We are moving into a new era in dealing with datum transformations. Geodata 2.0 is coming, and it can create big headaches when attempting to combine disparate geospatial databases. Sensors such as GPS receivers, remote sensing imagery, and 3D scanning provide much more accurate data, setting up a collision with outdated and mismatched legacy horizontal datums.

Technologies and applications of interactive flood simulation
Submitted by LSU Justin on March 11, 2013 at 7:02pm
Severe flood disasters may frequently occur in near future because global warming will change the flood risk. To prepare the disaster, we propose global flood simulation software which simulates flood flow in short time on an earth viewer (i.e., global geographical information system). User can edit a flood scenario such as the location of levee failure by clicking on the earth viewer, then the software simulate the flood flow based on fluid dynamics. The simulation and GIS communicate each other using our technology, the flood information are visualized on the viewer even during the simulation. I will make a presentation about the technology and show how to work our flood simulation software.
Speaker: Satoshi Yamaguchi I specialize in the geophysics, hydrodynamics and software development such as geographical information system (GIS). I conduct a research on flood disaster and develop flood simulation software on our original GIS for a number of years in Hitachi Central Research Laboratory. I studied physical oceanography in Tohoku University and received masters degree.

We prefer the Panasonic Toughbook for outdoor use due to its touch screen and very bright video, though it is much more expensive. We run through the checklists which are available for download on the Troy Built Models website, and we demonstrate the multi-waypoint autopilot, and the zoom video camera. The S-800 is a very reliable and well-engineered product.

True LiDAR Stories - Part Three That's Classified Production date: February 2014 Link: http://youtu.be/cFDuCdF_nYk Tags: LiDAR, surveying, University of Maine, Global Mapper
This is the third video in a series of four that have been prepared for the University of Maine and its Surveying Engineering Technology Program to help illustrate the day-to-day applications of LiDAR in land surveying.
In Part One (http://youtu.be/Npcagcw-j0Y) and Part Two (http://youtu.be/XODiBfuGdgc) we looked at setback issues predicated on LiDAR-derrived contours. In this part, we will take a closer examination as to which specific LiDAR points are used for contour generation and the shortcomings of the classification process that users of LiDAR data need to be aware of and when it is appropriate to employ reclassification algorithms. In this example, we see what I've referred to as a hole in the ground, an area that is clearly on open lawn yet devoid of legitimate bare ground returns and which instead have been classified as UNCLASSIFIED. Reclassification of the UNCLASSIFIED pulses allows us to fill in that hole and thereby generate contours more closely representative of the truth on the ground.

Surveying in an open cast mine has challenges of it's own. Setting up terrestrial scanners and other survey devices in the traffic of heavy equipment either slows down production or poses serious saftey risks to the survey crews. Other safety and health risks involve steep ledges, potential for rock/land slides, noise and dust. Conventional mine surveying takes time, involves more than one person and can be very expensive.
This video was created by Oliver and Walter Volkmann for Aibotix in 2012 to help them promote the use of their Aibot X6 in one of the more dangerous environments for surveyors. Based on the Mikrokopter Flight and Navigation controllers available today (www.mikrokopter.com), the Aibot X6 is programmed to fly flight paths automatically. Due to limitations in the mikrokopter flight/navigation controller, photos are taken at time intervals calculated to provide the approximate overlap percentages required as special licenses are required if the user intends to fly more than 32 waypoints.
The Aibot X6, just like most VTOL UAVs / Multirotors on the market today, provides an efficient and profitable way to perform aerial mapping and is able to operate in conditions not suitable for conventional aerial photography. By using the imagery gathered during Aibot X6 automatic flights which are programmed using Mikrokopter Tools Waypoint Planning, high resolution orthophotos can be generated using third party software from which detailed models, suitable for measuring quantities, designing earthworks and general orientation in mine management and safety, can be built.

Short tutorial for surveyors on How to Shoot an Azimuth or "A Directional Line"
An azimuth (Listeni/ˈæzɪməθ/; from Arabic السمت as‑samt, meaning "a way, a part, or quarter"[1]) is an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system. The vector from an observer (origin) to a point of interest is projected perpendicularly onto a reference plane; the angle between the projected vector and a reference vector on the reference plane is called the azimuth.
An example is the position of a star in the sky. The star is the point of interest, the reference plane is the horizon or the surface of the sea, and the reference vector points north. The azimuth is the angle between the north vector and the perpendicular projection of the star down onto the horizon.[2]
Azimuth is usually measured in degrees (°). The concept is used in navigation, astronomy, engineering, mapping, mining and artillery.

in case of forgetting which side is sin and cos:
-if left-hand, make a 'C', it faces the right side so the Cosine is on the right
-if right-hand, make a natural 'C', but it faces the left side so the Cosine should face the right

Basic Map Reading: Direction, Orientation, And Location With A Compass pt1-2 1966 US Army 15min

Basic Map Reading: Direction, Orientation, And Location With A Compass pt1-2 1966
"Features and use of lensatic compass in map orientation, in finding direction and location, and in land navigation, by day and night."
US Army training film TF5-3721 Basic Map Reading Part IV
Public domain film from the National Archives slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild noise reduction applied.
The map of choice for land navigators is the 1:50,000-scale military topographic map...
Geographic coordinates are expressed in angular measurement. Each circle is divided into 360 degrees, each degree into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds. The degree is symbolized by ° , the minute by ′, and the second by ″. Starting with 0° at the equator, the parallels of latitude are numbered to 90° both north and south. The extremities are the north pole at 90° north latitude and the south pole at 90° south latitude. Latitude can have the same numerical value north or south of the equator, so the direction N or S must always be given.
Starting with 0° at the prime meridian, longitude is measured both east and west around the world. Lines east of the prime meridian are numbered to 180° and identified as east longitude; lines west of the prime meridian are numbered to 180° and identified as west longitude. The direction E or W must always be given. The line directly opposite the prime meridian, 180° , may be referred to as either east or west longitude. The values of geographic coordinates, being in units of angular measure, will mean more if they are compared with units of measure with which we are more familiar. At any point on the earth, the ground distance covered by one degree of latitude is about 111 kilometers (69 miles); one second is equal to about 30 meters (100 feet). The ground distance covered by one degree of longitude at the equator is also about 111 kilometers, but decreases as one moves north or south, until it becomes zero at the poles. For example, one second of longitude represents about 30 meters (100 feet) at the equator; but at the latitude of Washington, DC, one second of longitude is about 24 meters (78 feet).
Geographic coordinates appear on all standard military maps; on some they may be the only method of locating and referencing a specific point. The four lines that enclose the body of the map (neatlines) are latitude and longitude lines. Their values are given in degrees and minutes at each of the four corners. On a portion of the Columbus map (Figure 4-4), the figures 32° 15' and 84° 45' appear at the lower right corner. The bottom line of this map is latitude 32° 15'00″N, and the line running up the right side is longitude 84° 45'00"W. In addition to the latitude and longitude given for the four corners, there are, at regularly spaced intervals along the sides of the map, small tick marks extending into the body of the map. Each of these tick marks is identified by its latitude or longitude value. Near the top of the right side of the map is a tick mark and the number 20'. The full value for this tick marks is 32° 20'00" of latitude. At one-third and two-thirds of the distance across the map from the 20' tick mark will be found a cross tick mark (grid squares 0379 and 9679) and at the far side another 20' tick mark. By connecting the tick marks and crosses with straight lines, a 32° 20'00" line of latitude can be added to the map. This procedure is also used to locate the 32° 25'00" line of latitude. For lines of longitude, the same procedure is followed using the tick marks along the top and bottom edges of the map.

A number of general principles can be articulated, leading to conclusions regarding the description and modeling of uncertainty, its propagation, and its impacts on applications. Communicating geospatial uncertainty is especially problematic, and for various reasons uncertainty has been essentially banished from traditional cartography. I use numerous examples to illustrate these points. The presentation ends with a summary of what is currently known, and promising directions for further research.

Excel Tips: Survey data, tables and exporting data to SPSS
Submitted by Surveying Jobber on August 21, 2012 at 8:29pm
Guide to entering survey data and creating cross-tables in Excel 2007. You have distributed and collected survey data using a questionnaire with a number of questions. Now you want to enter the data and create cross-tables in Excel. Eventually you also want to export the raw data into SPSS for further analysis.
First you must enter the name of the variables in the first row, then enter the raw data in the following rows. Second, to create cross-tables, select your data (including the first row with the variable names), click on the Insert-tab, click Insert Pivot table, and insert the empty table into the worksheet. From the right side, drag one variable to the rows and another to the columns. Also, drag the last one to the main data field. By default, Excel might work with sums, and that ruins the table. We need to change that, by right-clicking in the main data field and dragging down to Summarise data by and select Count (the table will now show frequencies).
To export the raw data to SPSS: Save as an ordinary Excel file. Close the file (or quit excel) and start SPSS. In SPSS, click File, drag down to Open and select Data. Make sure you tell SPSS that you want to open an excel file, else the file will now show up. Once you located the file, open it.

Personal Problem:HELP ME WITH BOUNDARY LAND SURVEYOR.
Submitted by LSU Justin on January 4, 2011 at 3:18pm
I can provide the drawings and information by Fax for you to see for yourself how biased these Surveyors could be? We need Media help to expose them. They are overlooking the facts. I have a boundary problem and very fortunately I and my neighbour have Special Boundary Deeds marked to the very inch. I employed a Surveyor and he marked it against me in the favour of my neighbour. He gave my report to my neighbour FREE of charge without my knowledge and he is asking me to pay for the services. The report is in the favour of my neighbour and against me. So, I employed another Land Surveyor specialising in Boundary demarcation using Laser mapping. She, the lady Surveyor, did the laser mapping and put the boundary almost correct but she shifted my neighbour's encroachment away from me by 16 inches showing in her report that there is very little encroachment not worth bothering. This Surveyor charged me £1500 + VAT upfront. Now, both of these reports are not professional and I wants to bring into the notice of Media that how these professionals instead of solving the problems through their professionalism rather create problems. They being the members of the RICS, are also taken by Judges as expert in this matter. I wonder if Media would be interested in highlighting the malpractices in such professional bodies. I warned both the Surveyors that I being a retired lecturer in Metallurgy can read drawings and mark the boundary but the solicitors need a professional document from you. I did mark the boundary for them and there was hardly ten feet boundary in dispute plus or minus 3 inches. If you are interested, I can explain and provide solid proofs of what I am saying and claiming. There could be an element of racism as I am an Asian and my neighbour is a white.

Surveying Targets and Prisms for Monitoring Railway Tracks
Submitted by Surveying Jobber on October 7, 2013 at 6:11pm
For short and long-term monitoring of bridges, buildings and rail ways, Rothbucher System targets from Berntsen International is the best way to take advantage of your investment in high precision survey equipment.
Specially developed for monitoring of rail ways, hundreds of thousands of RS targets are being used throughout Europe and now are available in North America.
Once fixed on the rail line, discussion of when we can go on the track is no longer necessary. Monitoring work can be done outside of danger area, whenever you want and at your time frame. Keep your survey crews away from rail lines and outside of danger zones.
It is possible to measure these targets from almost any angle. You do not need to shift the total station as often because you can reach many measuring points from one position. To be more flexible on positioning with the total station, these targets are also often used on all pillars around the construction site.
For all monitoring work with robotic total station we offer the RSMP15 with mini prism that can be easily glued to any difficult surface without drilling, even on rail lines. Now accurate, low cost and complete round-the-clock monitoring of construction sites is possible.
Problem areas on rail lines such as underground voids or severe track dips can now be easily verified and measured with our mini prism target even while the train is passing over the affected area.
All RS survey targets and control points are made of tough, UV resistant materials and are intended for discreet, long term, highly precise control and monitoring.

Once fixed on the rail line, discussion of when we can go on the track is no longer necessary. Monitoring work can be done outside of danger area, whenever you want and at your time frame. Keep your survey crews away from rail lines and outside of danger zones. It is possible to measure these targets from almost any angle. You do not need to shift the total station as often because you can reach many measuring points from one position. To be more flexible on positioning with the total station, these targets are also often used on all pillars around the construction site. For all monitoring work with robotic total station we offer the RSMP15 with mini prism that can be easily glued to any difficult surface without drilling, even on rail lines. Now accurate, low cost and complete round-the-clock monitoring of construction sites is possible. Problem areas on rail lines such as underground voids or severe track dips can now be easily verified and measured with our mini prism target even while the train is passing over the affected area. All RS survey targets and control points are made of tough, UV resistant materials and are intended for discreet, long term, highly precise control and monitoring.

This will become the major access road to Homestead Motor Speedway. I decided to make a more informative episode this time around to better benefit some friends but promise that those to follow will be just as fun and exciting as the first episode was. :)

GSR1700 CSX L1 GNSS is a highly scalable survey system offering three survey styles for centimeter-accurate surveying – static, stop-and-go and RTK. Initially, you can use the system for static or stop-and-go surveys for topographic and control surveys, then you can upgrade to the lightest RTK system to perform real-time survey tasks, such as construction layout. Use Sokkia GSR NetLink for a wireless GPRS data link with no broadcast range limitation or use UHF or license free spread spectrum radio modems. The optional SDR+ S/K Edition data collection software, made exclusively for the GSR1700 CSX system, works with surveyors of all skill levels to produce superior data collection for any static and kinematic survey.
GPS, GLONASS, and SBAS satellite tracking allows initialization in seconds and consistent centimeter level positioning even in urban areas and in areas with dense tree coverage. Simply mount the receiver on a tripod, press the power button, and begin transmitting RTK base corrections and collecting raw data in seconds. Multiple Bluetooth® wireless connections and an integrated antenna allow for convenient and cable-free surveying. The minimal learning curve of the GSR1700 CSX enables you to harness the power of GPS surveying right away and tackle your next surveying application without breaking your budget.
Surveying museums are few and far between. I have visited two of the more prominent. Shown on this video are pictures of my visits to the museums. Texas will be adding to the field of museums soon. The Museum of Measurement and Time will open in Jefferson, Texas in early summer 2010.

Traverse is a method in the field of surveying to establish control networks.[1] It is also used in geodesy. Traverse networks involve placing survey stations along a line or path of travel, and then using the previously surveyed points as a base for observing the next point. Traverse networks have many advantages, including: Less reconnaissance and organization needed; While in other systems, which may require the survey to be performed along a rigid polygon shape, the traverse can change to any shape and thus can accommodate a great deal of different terrains; Only a few observations need to be taken at each station, whereas in other survey networks a great deal of angular and linear observations need to be made and considered; Traverse networks are free of the strength of figure considerations that happen in triangular systems; Scale error does not add up as the traverse is performed. Azimuth swing errors can also be reduced by increasing the distance between stations. The traverse is more accurate than triangulateration[2] (a combined function of the triangulation and trilateration practice).[3]

FAA Certifies First UAVs
In what seems to be a different approach then I was expecting the FAA has announced that they are certifying 2 UAV systems for specific commercial applications. I was under the impression that they would be certifying groups not specific manufacturers. It seems that this will at the very least speed up the approval process.
The two that have been issued restricted category type certificates to the Insitu ScanEagle X200 and the AeroVironment Puma AE drones.
Puma AE (All Environment) is a small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) designed for land based and maritime operations. Capable of landing in the water or on land the Puma AE empowers the operator with an operational flexibility never before available in the Small UAS Class.
The Puma AE is rugged for reliability, man portable for ease of mobility, and requires no auxiliary equipment for launch or recovery operations. The system is quiet to avoid detection and operates autonomously, providing persistent intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and Targeting data (ISRT).
Puma AE carries both an electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) camera on a lightweight mechanical gimbaled payload allowing the operator to keep "eyes on target." The air vehicle's modular design allows for alternative payload development to meet the needs of specific military or civilian applications.
The UAV is operated from AeroVironment's (AV) battle proven Ground Control Station (GCS) with a communications range of 15 km and flight endurance of 2 hours. AV's common GCS provides Puma AE users compatibility with the Raven and Wasp UAS platforms.

Trick: Convert Your Thoughts to Text with Google Voice
Submitted by LSU Justin on March 3, 2013 at 10:15pm
I can think of literally a million situations where a land surveyor might need to quickly take note of his/her thoughts in the field. I can also see where having a backup copy of these thoughts in both audio and text (time-stamped) might come in handy. Perhaps you might need them for court one day (hopefully not). Maybe you might find it simpler to record and transcribe your thoughts so you can copy/paste them into a story on Land Surveyors United (hint hint). Nevertheless, Google Voice is an incredible tool with many possibilities for making your surveying life more organized and productive.
Google Voice has actually one-upped Apples Visual Voicemail by adding the new voice transcription feature to what is already an incredible voicemail system. The audio for all of your messages is saved in an inbox that works just like an email inbox. This alone is pretty cool, but then they convert the message to text and put it in your inbox too. When you click the play button to hear the voicemail, the transcribed text is highlighted in sync with the audio. The words that are in black text are usually perfect, while the ones in gray are 50/50. They also send the text to your email, so that you can read the message without having to play it. This cuts hours and hours of blah, blah, blah time out of your life.

There's never been a great Western made; in fact, nearly all Westerns are fraudulent. This is where 'Surveyor' comes in, albeit in a short and low-budget format, no less. My film tells the story of a government agent surveyor returning home after having surveyed land on the western frontier. His journey home becomes a nightmarish trek through an American gothic landscape - this is a true depiction of how the American West was lost. Wait a sec! What's a surveyor!? Well, did you know that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln were surveyors? Ever wonder who created the boundaries in those old ancient maps? Every wonder who started the great pyramids of Egypt? Did you know the Bible is filled with stories about surveyors? In the future, if we send our starships out to explore, and probably colonize, the farthest reaches of the cosmos, are you curious as to what kinds of people would be spearheading the effort? And, finally, did you ever wonder what the actual mechanism by which the American government used to push westward was?Cue the Surveyor! In the 1800s surveying was the most dangerous job in America, and thus American Indians killed them whenever they could. Using their levels, chains, and compasses, surveyors went out into the unknown to certify claims against insurmountable forces. My film is about this. Here's the good news: The film is nearly finished! With your help I can put the finishing touches on my short film 'Surveyor,' and thus end the fourteen month process it has taken to make it. Because of the colorist and film festival submission fees (most of which are around $50 each) I need to raise finishing funds of $1,500. The film is entirely shot, edited, scored, and the visual effects are nearly completed as I write this. My intention is to submit 'Surveyor' to as many top film festivals as possible. And once I'm finished with the film, I plan to use it as a fundraising tool for my next, and last, short film. Thank you so much for your help. It's been a long, arduous process and I'm anxious for people to finally see 'Surveyor.' Please let me know if you have any questions.

Zip Staker - Any Surveyor's New Best Friend - Introduction
Submitted by LSU Justin on December 6, 2010 at 10:31pm
Overview; Two basic applications exist in the survey or measurement environment, namely
the setout of a predefined calculated position, or the measurement of existing position or feature for recording. The surveyor or surveying technician typically performs this duty. For decades the surveyors plumbing device has been a plumb bob, rod, staff, pole or stick held in the plumb position. Some 30 plus years ago an EDM reflector or prism was mounted on top of the rod, followed, in recent years by a GPS receiver, and in some applications, a data collector.
In the traditional survey process, the rod is positioned at the desired location and a measurement taken. In the set out application the rod is moved over and over again until the desired position is found. Once the desired position is found the rod is moved out of the way and the point is set. The rod is then returned to the set point and another measurement is taken to check the accuracy and if needed the rod is removed and the set point is adjusted. This process is repeated over and over again until the desired accuracy is achieved.
The Zip Staker™ places the reflector receiver with a laser light plumbing device directly over each other on a pivoting swing arm. The Zip Staker™ can be mounted on top of any survey rod or tribrach adaptor with the standard 5/8 by 11 threads. The rod is moved into close proximity of the setout position, 3 or 4 tenths of a foot. The Zip Staker™ has a working radius of approximately 0.8 feet measured from the center of the rod. With the aid of a bipod or similar device the rod is plumbed and the Zip Staker™ is then pivoted until the rod person using the data collector or the instrument operator finds the Zero, Zero position. With the aid of a bipod the surveyor can concentrate on the rod mounted data collector watching for the Zero, Zero position. The surveyor need not concentrate on plumbing the rod and watching the data collector simultaneously. With the laser light plumbing device attached to the Zip Staker™ the light is visible on the ground and the point can be set and adjusted if need be without repetitive movements of the rod. The light is continually visible on the ground while the point is being set.
The Zip Staker™ is also a valuable tool when measuring existing structures or features such as the corner of a concrete slab or any elevated vertical surface. Anyone working in the field will testify that it can be challenging to put the rod tip on the corner of concrete while hold the rod in position and the measurement is taken. The Zip Staker™ can be placed near the corner of concrete and pivoted into position until the laser light designator is shining on the concrete edge. The measurement can then be taken accurately on a vertical surface without the frustration of trying to position the rod

BBC News Mountains measured- Surveyors reclassify UK hills
Submitted by Surveying Jobber on May 8, 2013 at 5:32pm
A group of amateur surveyors has been climbing and re-measuring some of Britain's highest peaks, to see if they are high enough to be called mountains.
Already two mountains have been reclassified while the north Wales mountain, Tal y Fan in Snowdonia, is the latest to be measured to see if it should be downgraded to a hill.

This is an interesting discussion and lecture which gets interesting around the 12 minute mark It's true. Don't believe me? Go out onto the street and ask them about Geomatics. You'll get some weird looks. The video above was from a talk I gave to the SAIT Geomatics Engineering Technology class in early December 2012. My goal with the presentation wasn't to scare them away from Geomatics but to get them to think about Geomatics in a different manner.
I'm not trying to belittle Geomatics. I've been in the industry since 2000 and have staked my entire career on Geomatics. I have an engineering degree in Geomatics and own a Geomatics company (but I don't call it a Geomatics company) so my stake in Geomatics is pretty high. But I think the Geomatics industry needs to evolve. I think the industry needs to stop thinking about Geomatics being something unique, in its own industry, requiring its own set of fancy words to describe what it does.

Learn how to use AutoCAD's standard notation while drawing objects. You learn how to specify exact locations in your drawing using coordinates. You can input distances in metes and bounds by doing the following: Open the Drawing Units dialog box by typing units[enter]. In the Length - Type drop-down list (upper left), select Engineering. In the Angle - Type drop-down list (upper right), select Surveyor's Units. Click OK. Now you can enter distances and angles in a metes and bounds style. For example to enter a distance of 40 feet North 45 degrees 22 minutes East, enter @40[less-than-sign]N45d22'E. I hope this helps

Professional Land Surveyor Vlog -Survey Earth in a Day Interview
Submitted by SurveyEarthinaDay on May 13, 2012 at 1:59pm
Survey Earth in a Day Interview with Scott Warner, RLS VP Senior Director & Editor of Land Surveyors United.
Planet earth has never been measured with great precision- in its entirety- from thousands of points, simultaneously, during the course of a single day. On Survey Earth Day, the geospatial professionals of the world will have a chance to change that. On the day of the summer solstice June 20 2012, geospatial professionals around the world and members of Land Surveyors United (a global support network for land surveyors) will be simultaneously recording survey grade GPS data from thousands of points around the globe, in order to gain a more accurate understanding of the earth's surface. The first annual Survey Earth in a Day event will be an ongoing annual social surveying education experiment, with a mission not only to learn more about the earth's surface but also monitor its changes over time, as a global community.Our results will change the knowledge we currently have of the shape of the earth and thus provide new information about our planet's surface for the benefit of all man-kind. Help the surveying industry and the surveyors in your region of the world by representing your area as we re-measure the entire globe in one single day! If you are a geospatial professional with access to survey grade GPS equipment, you should consider helping us set a world's record, right from where you live and work! Only a surveyor can provide the kind of precision that will be needed to truly understand the shape of planet earth. Just imagine how much this can help our industry.

LIFTOFF of the Delta IV rocket carrying the GPS 2F-1 navigation satellite
Submitted by LSU Justin on June 5, 2010 at 3:41pm
Every day, we rely a little more on GPS satellites for both work and pleasure. Along with items like your car GPS navigation system, many items in Google Earth (such as these ships, real-time air traffic or following Frank) require GPS to enable us to see their current location.
Last week, the U.S. Air Force launched a new satellite (the GPS IIF SV-1), the first in a series of launches aimed at replacing all 24 existing satellites over the next 10 years.
These new satellites offer a variety of enhancements over the existing ones. The most important part of this project is to simply replace them. Numerous reports are concerned that the existing network may begin to fail due to age. This will obviously remedy that.
In addition, these new satellites will provide a stronger, more accurate signal. Rather than the roughly 20 foot accuracy that you currently receive, the new ones will allow for accuracy down to about 3 feet. In addition, the stronger signal will help more GPS units to function properly indoors, which could be a big boost for various augmented reality tools that are beginning to find their way into the marketplace.

On February 10, the Iridium 33 and Cosmos 2251 communications satellites collided over northern Siberia, at approximately 1656 GMT. The impact between the Iridium Satellite LLC-owned satellite and the 16-year-old defunct Russian military satellite occurred at a closing speed of well over 15,000 mph, 490 miles above the face of the Earth. The collision occurred at roughly 780 kilometers (485 miles), a low-earth orbit (LEO) altitude used by satellites that monitor weather and carry telephone communications. It is considered the most crowded area of space.
 GPS and GNSS satellites are in medium-earth orbits, below the 22,300 miles of geostationary satellites and above LEO satellites. Bethesda, Maryland-based Iridium Satellite LLC has stated that the collision is not the result of a failure on the part of the 560-kg Iridium satellite or its technology, saying that it appears the satellite collided with a non-operational 900-kg Russian satellite. Iridium Satellite LLC operates a constellation of 66 LEO satellites that provide voice and data services for areas not served by ground-based communication networks. The Iridium 33 was launched in 1997. However, an official of the Russian Defense Ministry has implied that the Iridium satellite should have known it would crash into "junk" at that altitude. As for the United States' position, "We did not predict this collision," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman on Thursday. The U.S. Joint Space Operations Center was tracking 500 to 600 new bits of debris, some as small as 10 centimeters (3.9 inches) across, in addition to the 18,000 or so other man-made objects it has catalogued in space. It tracks so many that it has to decide which to follow most closely, such as the International Space Station (ISS) or manned space flights. The ISS flies at an even lower altitude than where the collision occurred. "There are limits on your ability to track and compute every piece of orbiting man made object," Whitman said. "It's an unfortunate incident that highlights the importance of cooperation and collaboration in space.” Satellites that are "going dead" can be put in a place in space where there is no activity, or maneuvered into a safe descent back to Earth, he said. But Whitman refrained from accusing the Russians of negligence, saying that some of the procedures for handling dying satellites were introduced long after the satellite's launch in 1993. He said he had been told that Tuesday's collision was not the first of its kind, adding that "there have been three to four other events." NASA spokesman John Yembrick said there have been "three other cases in which space objects orbiting at hypervelocity have collided accidentally." But he added that "these were all minor events involving spent rockets or small satellites with only a few pieces of resulting debris." To support the space community in better understanding this unprecedented satellite-to-satellite collision, Analytical Graphics, Inc. and CSSI have used their software to reconstruct the event. The software is also being used to help assess the possibility of additional collisions by applying breakup models for debris prediction. Available tools include videos, interactive 3D Viewer files, and high-resolution images.

Surveying using the Topcon GPT9000 Robotic Total Station With a 2,000 meter reflectorless long mode range and X-TRAC™ 7 Quick-Lock prism tracking technology, this robotic total station truly sets the standard in robotic target acquisition. X-TRAC 7 provides fast prism tracking even when exposed to other reflective objects. The system uses an on/off cycle for the tracking beam and signal size measurement logic to determine what is a prism and what is a shiny object that should be ignored. Non-prism objects are automatically ignored. The total station’s long range power also translates into unparalleled short range performance. The system provides pinpoint accuracy with a narrow, focused beam. Completely cable-free, the total station features an integrated, full-color graphical Windows® CE color touch screen interface, backlit keyboard, and super-fast robotic servo technology. A 2.4 GHz interference-free Spread Spectrum Radio is built into the side panel of the instrument, so no off-board dedicated channel radios are needed for remote operation. The 1,000 meter range between the instrument and the field controller (sold separately) provides an impressive communications range for the components of your system. The waterproof, dustproof instrument design withstands even the harshest job site conditions. Specifications Angle Measurement – Method: Absolute Reading. Horizontal: 2 sides. Vertical: 2 sides.

In 1807 Congress ordered the "Survey of the Coast" which caused the formation of the U.S. Coast Survey department. Eventually it was expanded to include the surveying of inland. There is a great deal of history on the internet for anyone interested and inclined to search it out. These markers were placed in my area in 1935 and 1946.

In 1948, Warren Neer began his career with the Oregon Department of Transportation. Over the next 33 years, he wore many hats — as a survey chainman, an inspector, a transitman and a party chief — before becoming one of the surveyors for the original Interstate 5 Willamette River Bridge in 1962. That structure transformed the flow of traffic in the Eugene-Springfield area and served motorists up and down the West Coast for almost 50 years. In this video, Mr. Neer explains how, using the tools of the time — transit, tripod, plumb-bob, level, thermometer, stakes, hubs and steel tape — he and his crew were able to take measurements of the site that are still accurate by today's high-tech standards.

I only made a very small batch for experimenting but it would be easy enough to increase the amount produced.

What is Google+ (Google Plus) and do Surveyors need it?
Submitted by LSU Justin on July 24, 2011 at 7:26pm
Google Plus is Google's new social network. But why start a Google Plus account when you already have a Facebook account? Well, Facebook was developed on the premise that everyone is your "friend" which isn't how your social circles work in real life. Google plus is built so that you can intuitively break up all your connections into "circles" and treat each circle separately. (Facebook allows you to do some of the same things but the privacy settings are confusing and constantly changing.)
Google Plus has a lot of slick features, but the biggest reason to open a Google Plus account is that if you use a lot of Google products you will inevitably get one some day.
How Would a Land Surveyor Use Google Plus
Briefly, consider grouping your fellow land surveyors into a "circle" called something like "Surveyors" and when you have surveying-related news or information that you think other surveyors should know about, simply choose the "Surveyors" circle when sharing that type of information. Unlike Facebook (where a share or like can be seen by ALL of your contacts)< Google + allows you to share certain types of content with "certain types" of friends.

Surveyors.. Protect Your Sensitive Emails by learning how to Encrypt Them
Lately, there has been a lot of chatter about email tracking and how government agencies are snooping on email conversations. If you would therefore like to keep your email private and would not like anyone else to read your confidential Gmail messages except for the recipient, you should consider encrypting your email before sending them.
There are a couple of browser extensions that help you encrypt Gmail but here we discuss a new and more simple Google Docs based encryption method that works across all browsers and requires no add-ons or apps. You secure your message with a strong password and the recipient will have to enter the same password in order to decrypt your message.
For the technically oriented, our Google Docs based solution encrypts (and decrypts) your email messages using the industry-standard AES algorithm which is implemented in Google Apps Script using SJCL, a JavaScript library for cryptography developed at Stanford. You can send secure and encrypted messages in Gmail with the help of Google Docs. .

avigation is one of the most time-consuming and error prone activities in the tunneling cycle. By automating this process the set-up of the rig can be done by the operator alone. The tunneling cycle does not have to wait for the surveyor to come out and deploy the rig. With the Total Station Navigation the effectiveness of the tunneling cycle will improve, as will the quality of the navigation.
avigation is one of the most time-consuming and error prone activities in the tunneling cycle. By automating this process the set-up of the rig can be done by the operator alone. The tunneling cycle does not have to wait for the surveyor to come out and deploy the rig. With the Total Station Navigation the effectiveness of the tunneling cycle will improve, as will the quality of the navigation.

A short about the differences between Recreational Grade GPS, Mapping Grade GPS, and Survey Grade GPS.
Civilian Grade GPS:
Often times people will confuse Civilian grade GPS with Mapping Grade GPS. Here is my definition of Civilian Grade; any GPS unit with an accuracy above 20ft. These types of receivers can be Cell Phone GPS units, Garman units, Tom Tom’s, in car GPS units, etc. These receivers tend to be able to lock onto a signal under trees and in vehicles. They are usually used to find your way to and from a geographic location such as geocaching, navigation, turn by turn directions, etc. “Do these units have a place in the GIS Industry” you may ask. The answer is absolutely! We use them in our Work Order Management Solution Spatial Links to navigate to a work order. They can be used to map certain GIS Features that do not require high accuracy such as the location of a house for a marketing survey or for storm weather tracking but they would not be best utilized to map a driveway entrance of a home for 911 or to map a valve for a utility.
Mapping Grade GPS:
In the last few years the definition of Mapping Grade GPS has changed significantly. It used to simply mean a GPS unit capable of creating a point in space at 1 meter (3.3 feet) or so. Now, the accuracy of Mapping Grade units range from 10 Centimeters (4 inches) to 1 meter (3.3 feet). In addition it is quickly becoming the norm for Mapping Grade Receivers to have cell phone technology and high res cameras such as the Trimble GeoXH 6000 handheld. They also should facilitate ease of use regarding capturing data, recording information about that data (attributes) and getting that accurate robust data back into the GIS/CAD system quickly and easily.
Survey Grade Receivers:
There is no confusion as to what a Survey Grade Receiver is. This type of unit is accurate below 1 centimeter (0.4 inches). My definition is if you need to map an ants butt then you need survey grade. These types of units are used to depict ownership of property and trust me people want every inch of property they can get. In order for a surveyor to be able to put his stamp on a plat or drawing he has to know what he surveyed is correct. The other uses for this type of equipment are shooting inverts of Sewer/Stormwater pipes, High Accuracy GIS, ground control for aerial surveys and Accident Mapping for Police Departments among others.
So to answer the questions:
What is the best way to map your system for GIS? > Mapping Grade
What solution might get me where I need to go? > Civilian Grade
What does my Engineer need when he asks me for your GIS data? > Survey Grade

The emergence of 2D bar codes as means for packaging, porting and making information easily accessable could have a big impact on the land surveying industry in the future-and I mean near future. This is just a prediction, but like many of my recent 'hunches' this one is bound to materialize. Just imaginethe day when you'll be able to go out to a job, finish it, package the data up as a bar code and simply email the code to the office. At the office, the code is simply scanned and POW- your entire project unfolds in front of your boss's eyes.
A 2D (two-dimensional) barcode is a graphical image that stores information both horizontally -- as one-dimensional bar codes do -- and vertically. As a result of that construction, 2D codes can store up to 7,089 characters, significantly greater storage than is possible with the 20-character capacity of a unidimensional barcode.
2D barcodes are also known as quick response codes because they enable fast data access. 2D barcodes are often used in conjunction with smart phones. The user simply photographs a 2D barcode with the camera on a phone equipped with a barcode reader. The reader interprets the encoded URL, which directs the browser to the relevant information on a Web site. This capability has made 2D barcodes useful for mobile marketing. Some 2D barcode systems also deliver information in a message for users without Web access.
Here's a sampling how 2D barcodes are being used:
Nike used 2D barcodes on posters along the route of an extreme sports competition. Mobile users captured barcodes to access sponsored pictures, video and data.
Some newspapers include 2D barcodes on stories that link mobile users to developing coverage.
2D barcodes on products in stores link to product reviews.
Some people post 2D barcodes that link to their blogs or Facebook pages.
See a simple demonstration of one use of 2D barcode:
Now I'm not saying that this 2D bar code revolution will not have far reaching privacy concerns. But what I am saying is that it is very interesting and could quite possibly be an option for data transfer and packaging in the near future. What do you think surveyors?

Explore the world in 3D with Google Maps 5.0 for Android. Now, you can tilt, rotate, zoom smoothly, and enter compass mode to orient yourself in the world with Google Maps.
You'll also get better offline reliability for Maps if you lose your Internet connection. You'll be able to continue viewing the map around the places you use Maps the most, and Google Maps Navigation (Beta) will automatically reroute you offline.
Note: 3D and offline features require Android 2.0+. Via the Google blog... we’ll use vector graphics to dynamically draw the map on your device as you use it, allowing you to interact with it in new ways:
Tilting: Drag down with two fingers to tilt the map. Tilt while zoomed in on one of the 100+ cities around the world with 3D buildings to see a skyline spring to life. Rotating: Twist with two fingers to rotate the map. After tilting to see 3D buildings, rotate around them to gain a new perspective from any direction. Smooth zooming: Slide two fingers together or apart, and see the map and labels continuously scale to any zoom level, stopping when your fingers stop. Compass mode: Center the map on your location, and then tap the compass button in the top right corner. The map will flip into 3D mode and start rotating to match your perspective, while still keeping all the labels upright and readable.

The stakeholders of this project include teachers, administrators, parents, students, and neighbors, all of whom have been involved since the conception of this project. The outcome will be a stimulating place for play, learning, and environmental education. We are creating a space where kids can learn about and interact with their food source. We also want to embed lessons on the importance of environmental stewardship, individual responsibility and impact. As this project succeeds it will act as a springboard to broader community interaction and involvement, including the potential of a community garden, more home gardens, demand of more local produce availability and community wide unification.

Why does West Virginia have a finger creeping up the side of Pennsylvania? Why are California and Texas so large when so many of the states in the Midwest are roughly the same size and shape? Why are Alabama and Mississippi almost exact mirror images of each other?
Mark Stein provided answers to these questions, and many more, when he discussed and signed his new book, "How the States Got Their Shapes," in a program sponsored by the Center for the Book. The author used the Library's Geography and Map Division and other Library resources in his research.
The map of the United States is so familiar that its state borders seem as much a part of nature as mountains and rivers, Stein says. "How the States Got Their Shapes" is the first book to explain why state lines are where they are. Anecdotal in nature, the guide reveals the moments in American history that put the giant jigsaw puzzle of the nation together.
Speaker Biography: Mark Stein is a playwright and screenwriter. His plays have been performed off-Broadway and at theaters around the country. His films include "Housesitter" with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. He has taught writing and drama at American University and Catholic University and lives in Washington, D.C.

GSR1700 CSX L1 GNSS is a highly scalable survey system offering three survey styles for centimeter-accurate surveying – static, stop-and-go and RTK. Initially, you can use the system for static or stop-and-go surveys for topographic and control surveys, then you can upgrade to the lightest RTK system to perform real-time survey tasks, such as construction layout. Use Sokkia GSR NetLink for a wireless GPRS data link with no broadcast range limitation or use UHF or license free spread spectrum radio modems. The optional SDR+ S/K Edition data collection software, made exclusively for the GSR1700 CSX system, works with surveyors of all skill levels to produce superior data collection for any static and kinematic survey.

Japanese Knotweed is a highly invasive plant and has the potential to damage property, and hinder the sale or purchase of a property. Identifying Japanese Knotweed and having a recognized Management plan to control or eradicate Japanese Knotweed will go a long way to helping assure Mortgage Lenders the property is not under threat of serious damage from Japanese Knotweed. Having a management plan in place will increase the chances of Selling a property,or Buying a property. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors can offer good information regarding Japanese Knotweed , and advise on Official Organizations to offer good advice. It makes financial sense to understand the implications of Japanese Knotweed.

Google Docs has a built-in PDF converter that supports nearly all popular file formats including Office documents, presentations, HTML web pages and more. Simply upload a file to Google Docs and then choose the “Download as PDF” option to convert it into a PDF.
That’s simple but consider a slightly different scenario where you would like to save a web file - like an Excel sheet or Word document that you found on another website - as a PDF. What’s the quickest path?
One option is that you save that online file to your computer first and then upload it to Google Docs for converting into PDF. Or, if you wish to save time, use Google Docs viewer.
Open that web file into Google Docs Viewer and then hit Ctrl + P to print it as a PDF. Here, you don’t have to download the original file to your computer as Google Docs Viewer will pull it directly from the website before conversion.
Google Docs Viewer is slowly turning into a universal file viewer that can help you read not just Office documents in the browser but also fonts and graphic file formats that would otherwise require tools like Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based global navigation satellite system. It provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to worldwide users on a continuous basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth.
GPS is made up of three parts: between 24 and 32 satellites orbiting the Earth, four control and monitoring stations on Earth, and the GPS receivers owned by users. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space that are used by GPS receivers to provide three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the time.
Since it became fully operational on April 27, 1995, GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, tracking and surveillance, and hobbies such as geocaching. Also, the precise time reference is used in many applications including the scientific study of earthquakes and as a time synchronization source for cellular network protocols.
GPS has become a mainstay of transportation systems worldwide, providing navigation for aviation, ground, and maritime operations. Disaster relief and emergency services depend upon GPS for location and timing capabilities in their life-saving missions. Everyday activities such as banking, mobile phone operations, and even the control of power grids, are facilitated by the accurate timing provided by GPS. Farmers, surveyors, geologists and countless others perform their work more efficiently, safely, economically, and accurately using the free and open GPS signals.

This teaches how to aim a two-sided emergency signaling mirror. This August 1943 US Government Training film is a digitized version of the US National Archives copy. Later testing proved retroreflective ("reflex") signal mirror aimers were more accurate, and the US services changed to that type of emergency signal mirror, but two-sided mirrors are still found in many liferaft kits. They are also the type sold for decades as the official US Boy Scout signal mirror, and the type typically made by Varsity Scouts in their "Operation on Target" event.

It was located just blocks away from Ground Zero and he thinks the relic should be added to the Sept. 11 Memorial Museum.
He was merely surveying a building when he stumbled upon a chilling crime scene.

RELATED: LUPICA: TRACE OF A DAY THAT WILL ALWAYS STAND ALONE IS FOUND In the moments after the shocking discovery on Wednesday, VanBrunt asked his crew chief to take a picture. Only after some thought did the 59-year-old understand the magnitude of what he’d found in the 18-inch-wide space. “I realized later — this is a piece of a murder weapon lying there,” VanBrunt told the Daily News from his home in Hicksville, L.I.

Only after some thought did the 59-year-old understand the magnitude of what he’d found in the 18-inch-wide space. “I realized later — this is a piece of a murder weapon lying there,” VanBrunt told the Daily News from his home in Hicksville, L.I. PHOTOS: GROUND ZERO: THE CHANGES SINCE 9/11 VanBrunt was taking measurements of the three properties stretching from 43 to 51 Park Place for the developer of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, Sharif El-Gamal.

Moving Businesses, Industries and the World Forward by Ola Rollén.
Since the dawn of civilisation, humankind's ability to think forward has allowed us to move forward. The progress of our predecessors has opened up opportunities for subsequent generations, but with this comes challenges that require great innovations.
Historically, the greatest driver of innovation has been the exponential increase in connectivity between individuals, creating infinite possibilities for ideas to be swapped. Similarly, connectivity between the real world and the digital world provides infinite opportunities for businesses and industries to be better prepared for change.

The Surveyors (1972) Aka Les arpenteurs (original title)
Lucien (a land surveyor) asks a friend, Léon, to carry to the woman he desires, Alice, a basket of provisions and to thank him for it offers him its cap. Léon seduces Alice, small brunette and admits later to his friend his "overflowings". Léon returns at Alice's home but it is not any more the same person; she is blonde and bears no resemblance to the woman the day before! One is sensual and welcoming, the other, mysterious and independent. Alice in Verbland! No drama, no action, a so "seventies" nonchalance... and the art of the conversation as the main subject of a delicious film, worn by remarkable actors (Marie Dubois, Jean-Luc Bideau and Jacques Denis). A wonderful, free and independent film!
About the Director of The Surveyors
Michel Soutter is a swiss director, born in 1932, died in 1991. With Alain Tanner and Claude Goretta, he was part of the major trio of the New Swiss Cinema of the 60's and 70's.

Google's Andy Rubin recently demoed at the Dive Into Mobile conference the soon to be released new version of Google Maps for Android.
The biggest change in Google Maps 5.0 for Android is that Google are dropping map tiles for vector graphics. The use of vector graphics will lead to two great improvements for Android mobile map users.
In the video above you can see the improvements that vector graphics provide in the display of 3d building outlines. The 3d buildings will have dynamic shading that update on the fly as you change the perspective of your view. The buildings also allow the maps to be rotated to orient to the direction your phone is facing and allow oblique views.
The new vector graphics will also give Google Maps much better caching capabilities. This should mean that Google Maps on your Android will work much better when you don't have a data connection.
Google Maps 5.0 is expected to be released in the next few days.

A helpful Map Maker tutorial explaining how to use GPS overlays! Perfect for surveyors on the move
With the latest update to Google Map Maker: the "Overlay" feature, you can now add your own maps and images on top of the regular map to help orient yourself and guide your mapping.
1. Enable Overlays
First, make sure that Overlays are enabled on Map Maker. To do this, access the "Labs" by clicking the green labs icon on the top right-hand corner of the screen. Then make sure that "Overlays" is switched to "Enabled" and click "Save". The "Overlays" button should now appear before the "Map" and "Satellite" buttons on the viewport.
2. Find or Make Content
To access KML maps or Images in Google Map Maker with the Overlay feature, this content will need to be online and you will need its web address. See "Where to host content" for suggestions. In this tutorial, we will use a KML map already online from Panoramio, a Google-run website where users can share geotagged photos.
3. Add Content to Map Maker
Once you have a web address for the content you'd like to see in Google Map Maker, you can add this web address to your Overlays. To do this, first go to the Google Map Maker homepage: http://mapmaker.google.com and sign in using your Google Account. Next, click on the "Overlays" tab on the upper-right hand corner of the map view. (see image below)
Click the "Manage overlays" button. This will open a window where you can add KML and Image web addresses. For this tutorial, copy the following Panoramio KML url text: www.panoramio.com/kml , enter it under the section that says "KML:" in the dialog box, and click "Add". (see image below) When you are finished managing your overlays, simply click "OK".
4. Enjoy Mapping with new Data!
If adding the web address of the Panoramio KML file has worked, you will see the image below. When zooming in, you may need to pause in an area for some time for the KML file to load. Overlays will only be kept while you have Google Map Maker open your web browser as they are not stored with your user account. If you close or refresh your browser, you will need to repeat the steps above again to see your Overlays.
Click the "Overlay" button to turn on and off the overlays. Click the "Manage overlays" link again to add and remove your overlays. If you want to add more URLs, you can continue to enter them one at a time under the appropriate "KML" or "Image" field and click "Add". To remove a link, simply click on the boxed "X" next to the URL you'd like to remove. Connecting to too many links may slow down your Map Maker connection.
You can now turn on and off the Overlays tab as you like in order to better help you map. Panoramio photos are great for helping you see what areas look like on the ground. This will let you orient yourself when looking at the world from above as well as give you ideas of what additional landmarks, points of interest, etc. may be worth adding to

Short video describing how to calibrate the ikeGPS compass. Over time the metal parts in your ike naturally become magnetized. We try hard to limit the number of ferrous components but there are still a few floating around in the unit. This calibration will get your compass back to factory settings by compensating for those magnetic parts that become magnetized during normal operations. Make certain you have the most recent ikeOS and go out and calibrate your ike. It will take from start to finish about 2 minutes. Don't be afraid to perform the calibration frequently to insure maximum accuracy. If you have any questions or concerns email us at [email protected] Join the IkeGPS Support Group on Land Surveyors United http://landsurveyorsunited.com/group/ikegps-support

This 13 part series, known as Fractured Land Patterns, is the history of BLM. It was created in the mid 1980's as an interpretation of BLMs colorful history. The historical perspective presented centers around the uses, federal laws, and landmark events on Americas public lands which contributed to the fractured land ownership patterns that remain today.
The series is divided into 2 broad sections the first is called The Public Disposal Era and consists of videos 1 - 6. The second is called Conservation and Beyond and covers videos 7 -13.
The thirteen chapters in this chronology trace the settlement of the West from colonial times through the passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), which provides BLM with its multiple use mission.
Set against the backdrop of dynamic economic, social, and environmental change, and with shifting national priorities, this series explains how the missions of the General Land Office and the U.S. Grazing Service were merged with a stroke of the pen by President Harry S. Truman in 1946 to create the Bureau of Land Management

Surveyors have a unique language when it comes to communicating between the instrument person and the rodman. For example: Punky is 11 because of the rhyming of 7. The reading 00 is add a pair. Hand signals are used to communicate numbers depending on their position. As established surveyors in our field we at Terrametrix take a fun look at the surveyor and this unique communication.

At the heart of the Quick Station lies a new processing and tracking capability with unprecedented accuracy, speed and reliability, even in the toughest conditions – XTRAC8 the new generation tracking engine, encompassing new optics, laser tracking and enhanced algorithms. XTRAC8 dramatically improves tracking and automatic reacquisition for difficult close up work, whilst maintaining lock with ease. The Quick Station coaxial EDM / tracking beam has the highest auto collimation accuracy in its class at 1.2mm. The enhanced processing engine of the EDM maintains the class leading reflectorless range of 2000m while reducing the measuring time – 3 times faster than is competitors; and at the same time allowing longer range to those difficult surfaces such as wet roads and dark rock. http://support.topcon-positioning.eu/tv/?p=661

Unethical Survey Where’s the hole here? Mon. Dec. 3, 2007 – Sheriff Dunn and his friends Survey altered Idiots on the loose. Just another example of an unethical survey done by con-artists for con-artists. They say this is where the survey post hole was before the post was stolen and a new post would fall right in the hole. (Survey 1 Video) Then if that was true then it took 18 or more pounds with a hammer to make it fall in the hole! (Survey 2 Video) Where’s the hole here Jerry (Last Name Unknown), Thad Reynolds of Landmark Surveying and Mapping, Inc., Mrs. Schaulis, Clay County KS Deputy and Sheriff Dunn? There was no post or hole showing that a survey post had been pulled out! There should be a hole after all the survey posts were stolen! It took 38 or more pounds with a hammer to drive a post in the ground using both hands. (Survey 4 Video) Did you know its considered harassing the buyer to ask the buyer why the sellers never received payment for the property? The buyer claims to own the land and claim they have the deed in there name and the sellers are still trying to get the money! (Survey 3 Video) Birds of a feather stick together by using the same lawyer instead of getting their own lawyer.Clay County Kansas District Attorney is legal counsel for Dr. & Mrs. William Brain Schaulis, Landmark Surveying and Mapping, Inc., Clay County KS Sheriff’s Dept., and others and represents them all as the named defendants in the litigations filed by the sellers.

A City in Context: Everything is related to Everything else
Submitted by Surveying Jobber on January 4, 2013 at 5:55pm
A film by Danny Dorling, Benjamin Hennig & Carl Lee with Humanstudio. Directed by Nick Bax. Design & Animation by Dan Fleetwood. Produced by Humanstudio as part of the University of Sheffield's 'Festival of the Mind'.
The thinking behind this short film is to show that so much of what is studied in geography is part of a complex, evolving complexity. Individual ‘facts’ can be linked to other information to help build up a wider and better understanding of the world in which we live. Carl starts his new geography students off by suggesting that it is a ‘join the dots’ subject; all those snippets of information whirling around the world waiting to be connected in some way so a more complete understanding can be developed. However one of the fundamental principles of geography is that ‘Everything is related to everything else (but near things are more related than distant things)’. This is known as Waldo Tobler’s first law of geography. It has been thought that globalisation and particularly the internet would lead to the ‘death of distance’, the ‘Flat World’ propounded by Thomas Friedman. Such thinking is an outright challenge to Tobler’s law. It is true that the distant can now be near; in Sheffield that is increasingly felt by the rapid growth in non-UK students studying in the city. We can Skype, surf and stumble our way through a more complex world than we ever imagined even a couple decades ago and all from our smart phones where-ever we are. Perhaps more pertinently economic forces that develop far from Sheffield shape the city’s fortunes. Whether that is the Chinese savings that provided a significant amount of the initial capital to fuel the ballooning private debt that has led to Sheffield and the UK mired in economic recession at the present time. Or it may be demand for basic food stuffs from a growing and increasingly wealthy global population that is helping to drive up the price of many staple food in the UK.
Useful resource for exploring ideas of globalisation, networks, urban change and inequality. A Sheffield College, Sheffield University, Humanstudio collaboration
